âď¸1. Protect your sleep above everything (6-8 hours)
Without proper rest, every other effort you make in the gym is wasted. Build your training around your sleep, not the other way around. The best time to train is shortly after waking up when your body is recovered and your energy is high.
âď¸2. Learn to listen to your body
Night shifts are physically and mentally draining in a way that a standard day job simply is not. Some days the smartest thing you can do is skip the session, recover properly, and come back the following day performing at your best. Consistency over time matters far more than forcing a bad session.
âď¸3. Sort your nutrition out (Protein, carbs and fats)
Your body needs the right fuel to perform and recover. Focus on eating balanced meals throughout your day and make sure you are hitting enough protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats. Neglecting your diet on a night shift schedule will catch up with you quickly.
âď¸4. Keep on top of your hydration (2-3 litres daily)
Dehydration is one of the most common issues for night shift workers. Keep a bottle with you throughout your shift as a constant reminder to keep drinking. Aim for 2-3 litres across the day and you will feel the difference almost immediately.
âď¸5. Be strategic with your caffeine intake.
Use caffeine as a tool, not a crutch. If you need a boost before training, time it 30-60 minutes beforehand for maximum effect. Avoid it during your shift though, as it will disrupt your sleep and work against everything on this list.
Hope this helps đâď¸

Plenty of football over the past week with a mixture of gym, a failed attempt of a car boot, and some post match celebrations.
Friendly against a touring Australian team, u14s played Notts County, and the first team at home to Chorley in the plate.
Navigating my way through the transition from playing to coaching, whilst trying to learn as much as I can.
Loving being a part of Halifax FC and everything that comes with it đ
